Michael's Angels for Michael's Children

This is a letter I received from the folks we are asking to transport our gifts up into the hills of Haiti.

Ms. Beck,

Thank you so much for your interest in serving others through the work of Remote Area Medical® (RAM)! We are looking forward to continuing our work in Haiti in the mountain community of Medor, and I am certain that the children there would be very happy to receive the gifts you mention in your message below. Although volunteers from RAM and Our Lady Queen of Peace (OLQP) Catholic Church in Arlington, VA, have made significant progress concerning accessibility of the area, transportation to the village remains very limited, and many of the supplies transported must at some point be carried by volunteers as well as villagers and/or their animals. Also, we must be sure that a majority of the items we take address the basic medical and nutritional needs of residents of Medor. That said, we would like to be able to take some of the items to the village with each trip we make. Can you please forward more information regarding the specifications of the items, shipment container, amount, and weight of the “barrel” indicated in your message? Again, we appreciate your efforts to make a positive difference in the lives of children everywhere, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Gratefully,
